Q&A with Bianca Estelle, Founder of Vitamin Injections London

What vitamins should we be taking as the seasons change?When the environment around us changes, we tend to be more susceptible to colds and flu and a general feeling of being ‘under the weather’. To help prevent this and also help you on your way to recovery if you do get unwell, I recommend Vitamin D3, Vitamin C and a multivitamin.

Why are these important?Vitamin D3 is an immune booster which will help to protect and fight against colds and flu as well as maintain healthy bones. Vitamin C is a natural anti-inflammatory and has a wealth of antibacterial benefits which helps support your immune system too. Lastly, multivitamins are a great way of ensuring you are getting as many essential nutrients as possible, especially important if your diet is not providing these.

How do we know what vitamins we are lacking in?Often, we can tell from symptoms that you may notice in yourself. For example, low energy could indicate a lack of B12 or iron whereas a compromised immune system could indicate a lack of D3 or Vitamin C.

For an accurate reading, we would recommend our blood diagnostic testing service which provides a reading of the exact amounts of different vitamins found in your blood. We can also do the test again once you’ve been taking vitamins or having vitamin injections so you can really measure the efficacy (as well as noticing the benefits physically).

Is it okay to take them in tablet form or should I be taking them another way?We recommend using transdermal vitamin patches or injections as opposed to supplements. The reason for this is that some supplements cannot be digested by the body and those than can, only deliver up to 15% of their active ingredients into the bloodstream. With transdermal vitamin patches and injections, these deliver over 90% of their active ingredients directly into the bloodstream.
